“Don’t worry about it,” went on Mrs. Martin. “Tell them the good news, Daddy, and cheer them up.”
“What good news?” asked Ted.
“Is it about the fire?” asked Janet. “Wasn’t it your place after all, Daddy?”
“Oh, there was a fire in my store all right,” her father told her. “But it didn’t really amount to much. However, the fire will not prevent my going to the Mount Major lumber camp, to start a supply store there for the men. And your mother and I have decided that we shall all go there and spend the summer vacation.”
“Up to Mount Major?” cried Ted.
“Yes,” his father said.
“In the woods?” exclaimed Janet, clapping her hands.
“Yes.”
“Oh, what fun!” cried the Curlytops together, and Trouble, finishing his oatmeal, added:
“I likes to have fun!”
